According to the scales I have gained last week's pound back, though I feel and look a little slimmer. Oh well, off in the caravan for the weekend, that always seems to make me eat loads so I will try really hard to be good.
Calories usually [STRIKE]creep[/STRIKE] march on in in the form of alcohol so I m training myself to like Gin and fizzy water (lowest sugar/calorie alcoholic drink). It's not too bad, best served cold with ice and lemon, I can't stand gin and tonic but realised mostly I don't like the Tonic, Aldi's poshest Gin is quite nice.June Grocery Challenge £493.33/£500 July £/£500

Morning all
Well I barely ate a thing yesterday as I managed to spend most of the day in hospital after being rushed there in an ambulance having a severe anaphylactic reaction...scary! Today I feel a bit rubbish and shaky and tearful....probably in need of some comfort food.
On the plus side though I did weigh this morning and it's the same as yesterday which means I've lost 4lbs this weekwant to try not to go too crazy with the comfort food as I don't want to ruin it...
Hope everyone has a nice weekend and manages to stay more or less on the wagon!0 -
Morning all
Oh dear daisy, sorry to hear of your problems yesterday. Everything crossed it'll not happen again
You make me green with envy ragz, I loved my caravan days. Have a super weekend. Oddly enough when I drank I never touched gin, but now I drink lots of tonic water
Reporting in with a 1lb loss - will I make the challenge with only one more lb to go? Really going to try but not holding my breath!
B - Porridge
D - Chicken tikka with fusilli. Apple
T - Crackers w/marmite, cheese&pickle, marmalade
S - melon, pineapple, apple
E - day off from gym to catch up with housework, it's a tip after hardly being touched since last weekend so going to raise some dust
Got a line of washing out so sorry guys, it's going to rainbut hope you have a sunny day whatever the weather

Morning everyone,
After a false start earlier in the year, I'm going to try again :T
Today's plans are:
Breakfast: Weetabix/semi/sugar:eek:
Lunch: Ham salad
Dinner: Vegetarian shepherd's pie (lentils, carrots, onions with sweet pot topping) and veg
Snacks: 3xcrackers and roule, yogurt coated strawberry pack, apple
Exercise: none
Probably not the healthiest plan, but I thought I'd jump right in instead of waiting until I'd done a menu plan and shopping, and it means I'm about to go and make a nice ham salad for lunch :T

Afternoon all. Well done to those who lost, and keep at it those who didn't :-)
I can report a -2.2lbs this week. I thought I would STS as wasn't the strictest on myself. :-) bring on next weeks weigh in haha!Total Weight Loss Progress = -17lbs
Money Earned Online = £1080 -
Hi Folks,
I havent been around for a few days but just popped in to do a very quick post and declare that I have STS this week, which is surprising considering the lack of planning that’s gone into my meals and the rubbish that I have been eating. But the energy used in disposing of the contents of a house probably balanced out the excesses of the week.
I still have to do the cleaning bit next week so hopefully that and a more organised menu will get some more weight off.
I will hopefully manage to catch up on everybody's posts at some point over the weekend.Jan - June Grocery spends = £531.61
July - Grocery spends = £113.010 -
Afternoon All
Well, after reading 'Escape the Diet Trap' at the weekend and following the principles in it since Monday, I've lost a couple of pounds and am finally back to my pre-holiday weight. I don't need any smiley faces as I didn't have any taken away, but hopefully might get one or two next week if it keeps up.
After seeing pictures of people's meals on another thread I thought it might be nice to post the odd picture of our meals to give inspiration so if this works, here is my lunch- a prawn and avocado salad with home grown salad leaves, seeds, etc.
B: Banana sliced with a teaspoon of creme fraiche.
L: Prawn and avocado salad.Kedgeree made with smoked haddock, salmon, mushrooms and grated cauliflower instead of rice. Raspberries with Greek yoghurt.
Snacks: Iced coffee frappe
Exercise: 1 hour stability ball class. 2 miles of walking so far today.
